Analyst Highlights Signs of a Potential Bitcoin Rally Ahead of Significant 2024 Breakouts

Recent observations highlight that Bitcoin (BTC) might be on the verge of a significant price movement. Analyst Crypto Dan pointed out that BTC appears to be developing an accumulation pattern, reminiscent of past patterns observed throughout 2024, which often led to considerable upward trends.

Bitcoin Indicates Potential for Major Surge

In the last week, Bitcoin’s price has risen over 13%, demonstrating a revival of confidence in the cryptocurrency sector. This positive shift coincides with diminishing global tariff disputes, which had previously hindered investment in riskier assets.

In addition to Bitcoin’s growth, the overall market cap of cryptocurrencies has risen significantly, expanding from about $2.5 trillion on April 8 to more than $3.1 trillion currently.

Further reinforcing this optimism is the evolving technical setup of BTC. A recent analysis indicated that BTC is establishing an accumulation pattern similar to those seen prior to major price surges in 2024.

The analyst presented a chart suggesting that Bitcoin’s recent movements are mimicking those from January and October of 2024. During both instances, BTC entered a notable uptrend fueled by a significant rise in activity from short-term holders.

The term “short-term holders” refers to investors who typically retain Bitcoin for brief periods, from one day to one week. Historically, a surge in activity from this demographic has often been followed by significant rallies—not just in Bitcoin, but across many major altcoins. The analyst noted:

This indicator has historically foreshadowed major price increases, serving as a dependable sign of accumulation. If current trends persist, Bitcoin may soon break past the $100K threshold and enter a bullish phase.

In addition, noted cryptocurrency expert Ali Martinez identified $97,530 as a critical resistance level. Martinez pointed out that exceeding this price could pave the way for Bitcoin to achieve new all-time highs.

Concerns Still Remain Despite Positive Outlook

While optimism is on the rise, not all indicators suggest an immediate breakout. Several analysts warn that Bitcoin still encounters challenges. Specifically, the 30-day Demand Momentum is currently in negative territory, indicating that the recent positive sentiment may not yet be fully sustainable.

Furthermore, on-chain metrics suggest that a rapid upward move might require additional time. Analyst Carmelo Aleman observed that BTC reserves on exchanges are declining, reflecting confidence from long-term holders, yet there might not be sufficient pressure to instigate a full supply shock just yet.

Nonetheless, a promising signal is the recent sharp increase in Bitcoin’s Apparent Demand, which may hint at the beginnings of a trend reversal. At the time of this report, Bitcoin is valued at $96,370, reflecting a 1.9% increase over the previous 24 hours.
